For a healthier lifestyle, a comprehensive approach is key

At Longevity Centres of America, we've seen countless clients in Denver and Houston who have struggled with their weight for years, some jumping from one fad diet to another while others spend hours at the gym with little result. However, as researchers from Stanford University recently noted in a new study, to truly make transformative changes for your health, you must commit to exercise and nutrition to an equal degree.

The scientists worked with 200 middle-aged sedentary individuals, most of whom were overweight, to determine the best approach, not particularly to shedding pounds, but to developing a healthier lifestyle overall. According to USA Today, which covered the study, the researchers found that participants who changed their diets and exercise regimens simultaneously saw better results than those who altered one aspect of their lifestyle and then the other.

"It comes down to making them both priorities and thinking about both throughout the day," Stanford professor Abby King, a lead researcher involved with the project, told the national news outlet.
